Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iMotion at 4.5 against Stop Motion Maker's 3.8. iMotion also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 49%) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 51). Stop Motion Maker's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
